    If there is ever a question on assembly order, thats where the respective -24P manual shines.

    Leak: Thoughts before degreasing and diagnose

    You want 1 washer on each side.

    Picked up 6 MEP-802A gensets and will be documenting making them all runners here

    I have (3) 802s here right now that all have fuel rack related concerns (either not moving correctly, missing parts, etc). I'm right there with you on the annoying factor.

    803a not warming up

    Yeah Ive used Fleet many times... thanks for the heads up on that one. I dumped $1500 this past fall at my local Napa on fluids, filters, batteries, etc stocking up so I won't need to for a stretch... but I will absolutely keep that in mind.

    Mep-1030

    I am not sure how Daybreak came into his, but I know he shared a video a while back of (3) units at his property. I was wondering where the pricing would land on that one.

    You can find the spring here: https://www.alliedelec.com/product/te-connectivity/4-1393159-8/70198576/ Also available through Mouser, Newark, etc. Nice work on the rebuild.

    Are the items in the RV both 120 and 240?

    Powering my rv with 806b?

    Is that kind of like powering an electric shaver with a Pratt & Whitney radial engine?

    Trailering an MEP 803a

    If you are pulling out of PA, you need to watch for the local cops. They make a fair amount of revenue from folks pulling unregistered trailers out of the depots..

    About to join the generator club.

    There may be a soft start kit available for your AC unit too, to allow for something smaller to run... but its all dependant on its actual size and use.

    mep-802a running temperature

    If you wanted to swap out the hoses for one without rust, I have them available in the classifieds.

    mep-802a running temperature

    In the future if you are replacing the T-stat, you can just backfill the system through the water pump into the water jacket and it will bring the fluid in the system up to that level. You can then top it off at the radiator fill when its all put back together.

    mep-802a running temperature

    Yeah throw as much load on it as you can and keep an eye on it. Have you been testing it only in this cold weather?

    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    If you don't need the ride height of the 37s, you can take older Ford 8 lug Dana 60 rims and tires and they should bolt right up from memory.

    Those look to be the best prices I could muster as well.

    Printed TMs

    Has anyone come across a gov printed copy of the -24 for either the 802 or 803? I have the 10 and the 24P (and a manual printed -24) but I'd love to find an issued copy of the -24. Thanks
